It started in a room in the center of the building about 2 :30 a. m , and as the structure was entirely of wood and erected for temporary use, it bnrned like tinder.

Licensee It is unlawful for any per son to hunt n this state without having first procured of the county clerk of one of the counties of this state a license therefor, which license the hunter must have with him, and in his possession at the time of hunting. A license pro cured in any county is good for the en tire state. All licensee expire on De cember 31 of each year. Fees: For residents, $1 ; for non residents $10. The law says, "No license shall be required of a man or members of his own family ' for permission to hunt upon his own ! lands " Therefore beware of bunting beyond tbe boundaries of your own land withput having procured a license. Seasons Spotted Fawn Closed at all times. Elk Closed until September 15, 1907. Bftck Deer Closed between Novem ber 1 of each year and August 15 of tbe following year.

Kelly, su perintendent of construction for the Medford & Crater Lake railroad, com menced laying track Tuesday and will continue to push the work forward as fast as possible. The tracks in tbe ter- j minal yards will first be finished, so j that material can be unloaded upon the company's own ground. Tbe Southern. Pacific company now has tome sixteen miles of rails ready for delivery to the Medford &. Crater Lake Company, to 1 that there will be no shortage of materi al in that line. A system of progression bets on this railroad proposition would have been a winner from an optimistic standpoint. One could have made wagers ; first that the amount asked to be subscribed would not be subscribed; second, that there wouldn't be any grading done; third, that the bridges over the two streams between here and Eagle Point would not be built ; fourth, that there never would be a rail laid on this line. The subscription was raised, tbe grade has been completed to Eagle Point; one bridge is completed and tbe other nearly bo, and raihi are being laid. Now it's up to some one one of the kind who ride backward in the cars and never sees anything until it goes by to tell you that he knew tbe thing would go all long. Mail. Six Persons serously injured by her perilous jump. I There were 15 guests in the hotel, many of whom narrowly escaped with their lives. A number of them were employee of attractions on the Trail, j and without an exception all lost their entire outfit of wearing apparel. Mrs. Lobtrt Badly Hurt Mrs Anna I.ubert, a French woman, suffered the most terrible injuries. The dimes were burning through her door I before she was awakened Gathering a few articles of wearing apparel, she j rushed through the ball, which was all auaze, and made tier escape b jump ing from the vranda of the te.-ond story. Her barns, although serious, are not considered necessarily fatal. Others who were slightly burned are: Joe Stubbs, a diswasher at the hotel ; A. C. Collander. a brewer emploved at the Mount Hoxl Brewery, and Mrs ' van .ant. an in.uaoapoiis lady, ine injuries of all these consist of burns about the head and shoulders, sustained while making their way through the burning hallway, and are not serious Limit Five deer in any one open sea son. Tugs Any person lawfully killing deer during the open season, not to ex ceed five deer, must make an affidavit i before any justice of the peace, letting forth the date of the killing of each deer and that the same were killed by the amant. t lie justice ot tne peace mere- upon issues to tbe amant one leatber tag for each deer. These tags must be securely fastened with wire, one tag to each deer skin. The tags are issued to the county clerks by the state game warden, and are by them distributed to the justices of the peace. It is evident from the foregoing as the law now stands, that the tags cannot be issued before the deer have been killed, and it is useless to apply for them until that time. No tags can be issued after the expira tion of five days from the close of the open season. The making of false affidavits is se verely punished. Tbe possession of the tags, regularly and lawfully issued, entitles the owner thereof to have the game transported anywhere within the state, but not be yond the boundaries of the state. TELEGRAPHER'S STRIKE ENDED H. Dickenson, Portland passenger and ticket agent of the Great Northern Rail way Company, at Portland, received a telegram from the St. Paul offices of that company Friday which announced that the trouble with the striking teleg raphers had been adjusted and the strike entirelv broken. Trains are run- ning upon schedule time at all points except in the extreme West, it was Baid, I where the heavy passenger traffic and the enormous fruit shipments are re sponsible for some delays. On the Northern Pacific also, things are about hack to their normal condition. Train No. 1 arrived Friday in Portland on schedule time, and it is probable that from now on all trains will leach Port land more nearly on time than they have for some time past. This marks the end of a strike which has caused considerable .annoyan. e to the railroad companies and to the pub lic. At no time, however, has it com pletely blocked traffic, altnough for sev eral (Jays it was a serious menace. The strike) commenced August 1st.

President Roosevelt has stepped in to pre vent the rupture of peace negotiations. immediately following a conference with Baron Kaneko, Japan's confidential agent, the President invited Baron Rosen to confer with him. The conference took place Saturday afternoon and Baron Rosen's demeanor, which before had been gn ft, was afterwards cheerful and smiling. It is understood that the President submitted to him a proposition which will settle the points in dispute in the conference and that this will be s.-ut to the Czar, on whose I decision rests the continuance conference on Tuesdav. It is suggested that Baron Kaneko informed the President of Japan's irreducible minimum and that Baron Rosen informed him of the maximum Kus-ia would con cede and that therefrom the basis of a compromise was deduced. 4 . nBr 9sV RUSSIA'S -UREMOST ADVOC.TE OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

SCIENTIFIC FARM A FAILURE It has taken a long time f r the pre diction lo le fill til led it was made seven vears ago that Goorge W. Vanderbilt would abandon his Baltimore farm The family told him he never could nuke a nieces of it, and thev spoke truly, for the farm was really so dread -rally and fearfully scientific that it was .verc.ipitali.ed with knowledge. There i no doubt the Vanderbilt piggery, with Ms butter-milk-fed hogs, and hennery, sith its specially dieted hens, were the inest things of the sort in North Caro lina, hut the ham was not much super ior in flavor to the ordinary sugar-cured .iroductv and the eggs were bo fuller of neat than the eggn laid by the common aruyard fowl.

BOLD BAD MAN AT GOLD HILL On Wednesday night at 11 o'clock a saloon was held up at Gold Hill, in Southern Oregon, by a lone highway man, who wore a blue mask of mosquito bar, the same as the man that held up the Hoffman House at Eugene, and also the store at Springfield on Monday night, and the description as to height, weight and color of hair is same. The similarity of the men in height, weight and color of hair and the farther fact that in each case the highwayman wore a blue mask made of mosquito bar leada the officers to believe that the fellow held up the Springfield store on Monday night, the House on Tuesday night at one o'clock, afterward shooting Night Watchman Farrington in order to make his escape, and then took the south bound train a few minutes thereafter. The officers were busy caring for Far rington, hence did not make the train going out soon after the shooting, and the bandit could have easily made his escape on this train and have made Gold Hill and held up the saloon ther on Wednesday night.

Not more than one- , third of an average crop, or between 4.- 500,000 pounds of prunes, is the latest estimate placed upon the state yield for tbe season of 116 by authorities upon the situation here. The average yield for the Kate is about 13.000,000 pound, bat the greatest yield was that of 1903, which amounted to 15,000.000 poinds, j A great many agencies are ascribed as j tbe cause for tbe shortage thia rear, j among them being the pre longed warm and dry weather, and the consequent lack of moisture and lack of cnltiva-! tion.
